integral of-1/(1+x)

\int - \frac{1}{1 + x} d x

- ln ∣ 1 + x ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int - \frac{1}{1 + x} d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \int \frac{1}{1 + x} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{u} d u

= - \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= - ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = 1 + x

= - ln ∣ 1 + x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln ∣ 1 + x ∣ + C

\int 2 - e^{x} d x

\int cos (x) + \frac{1}{3} x d x

\int e^{x} (x) d x

\int \frac{5}{x + 3} d x

\int (2 x + 3) (x^{2} + 3 x)^{2} d x
